(NEWSER) – Another high-profile hoax? The Coast Guard has suspended its search for a boat that supposedly went missing off San Francisco because it has turned up no trace of the boat or survivors after two days and can find no records that it existed in the first place, reports the San Francisco Chronicle. Officials aren't flat-out calling it a hoax yet, just saying it is "possibly a hoax," reports CNN.
